Clinical improvement on oral levo-carnitine therapy suggests the possibility of carnitine deficiency as the most likely etiology in two of the patients and one had mitochondrial myopathy confirmed on geneti...
متن کاملLipolysis and lipophagy in lipid storage myopathies
AIMS Triglycerides droplets are massively stored in muscle in Lipid Storage Myopathies (LSM). We studied in muscle regulators of lipophagy, the expression of the transcription factor-EB (TFEB) (a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis), and markers of autophagy which are induced by starvation and exert a transcriptional control on lipid catabolism. METHODS We investigated the factors that r...

متن کاملNeurofibromatosis Type 1 with Unusual Oral Manifestations
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetically transmitted autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance and about 50% of cases representing new mutations. It is progressive in nature and one of its unique feature is the diversity of clinical expression from one patient to another and even within a family. The disease is often characterized by complex and multicellular neurofibroma. It may also...
